Kris Laudien Leaving ‘CTV Morning Live’

Laudien is one of the original hosts and anchors of the morning show since it debuted on CTV Winnipeg in September 2011.

Laudien, who grew up in Vancouver, co-hosted alongside Eleanor Coopsammy until she left in the spring. Gabrielle Marchand has been filling in until Nicole Dubé returns from maternity leave to become a permanent co-host early next summer.

“An appealing offer has made this a very tough decision,” said Laudien, who will be heading to Calgary for a morning anchor position with Global News.
